Moonvalley builds foundational AI video models and a production‑grade generative videography platform, Marey, aimed at professional filmmakers and enterprise brands. Marey was recently released to the public via Moonvalley.com and the company works with its filmmaking arm, Asteria, to deliver cinematic, commercial‑ready outputs. Moonvalley emphasizes models trained only on licensed content to address IP and studio concerns. The company raised an additional $84 million to scale operations and meet enterprise demand, bringing total funding to $154 million. Planned uses for the new capital include expanding its licensed content library, developing API access for developers, building studio‑requested features, and growing engineering and support teams for enterprise deployments. Moonvalley develops AI video-generation tools and models (notably its Marey model) that produce up to 30-second HD clips with fine-grained camera and motion controls. The company emphasizes data provenance and legal risk mitigation, packaging and purchasing licensed videos for training rather than relying solely on public data. Moonvalley is building a user-facing interface with storyboarding and granular clip-adjustment tools that it has not yet previewed publicly. Marey can generate video from text prompts, sketches, photos, and other clips, and the company is collaborating with an AI animation studio called Asteria. Moonvalley says it will allow creators to request content removal, let customers delete their data, offer an indemnity policy, and block disallowed content and likeness-based prompts. The startup is positioning these safeguards and curated training data as its primary differentiation in an increasingly crowded generative-video market. Moonvalley is a Los Angeles–based deep learning research company focused on building next-generation generative AI creative models and an artist-first creative suite for the film industry. The company develops creative tools and deep learning models aimed at enhancing trust, transparency, and efficiency in the media industry. Moonvalley says it works with researchers, engineers and artists from DeepMind, Google, Meta, TikTok, Microsoft and more to design video and creative AI solutions. The team is led by co-founder and CEO Naeem Talukdar alongside John Thomas, Mateusz Malinowski, Bryn Mooser and Mikolaj Binkowski. Moonvalley plans to use new capital to continue advancing AI research, expand R&D, hire top talent, and accelerate deployment of its solutions. The company positions itself as a trusted partner for media organizations while pursuing frontier foundational video models.
